Wasps are friendlier towards environment and help plants to grow and multiple by helping in their pollination. This action is very similar to bees but that is where the similarity ends for yellow jackets. At the face of threat yellow jackets burst in to action and decimate the opposition with their fearsome stingers.

How to identify wasps?

Typically wasps have no hair, unlike bees. Wasps are assembled by joining three distinct body components namely head, thorax and abdomen. Thorax and abdomen of wasp is joined by a compressed petiole which gives the impression of extremely slender waist. When wasps take flight its waist looks non-existent. Three pair of legs is attached to the thorax and two pair wings made of membrane for flying. Wasps like all other insects their head accommodates mouth, segmented antenna, sensory parts and compound eyes. In female wasps the thorax is modified to lay eggs. Body color and size can vary with each wasp’s types. Yellow jackets are most popular and they are bright yellow and black striped, hornets are with bald head and are marked black and white. Paper wasps are thin bodied, long legged and bear yellow-reddish or brown and black markings. Mud daubers are distinctly known for their metallic black or blue color and a non-existent looking waist.  Mud-daubers are the least aggressive wasps and they don’t even attempt to sting you when you demolish their mud nests.

Most of these wasps including yellow jackets, paper wasps and mud-daubers are about an inch long or less with the exception of hornet. They are an inch or more in length and equally stout body. Hornets coming from Asian countries that have temperate climate are most feared and they can grow up to 2-inches in size. These are known as giant Asian killer hornets and are not prevalent in North America. However reports say that they have been spotted in some part of Canada.
